KEY PROCUREMENT INSIGHTS COVERED

Strategic Sourcing Guide to Bricks Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Non-Medical Chemicals Minerals and Gases market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Bricks. Volatility in the prices of key inputs is creating multiple issues that impact procurement within Bricks category such as benchmarking and budgeting of the procurement costs.

Suppliers are continuously taking efforts to improve efficiencies and productivity and deploying processes and technologies. Some of these investments are likely to increase their costs in the shorter term, but learnings from other sectors keep the suppliers optimistic about a lean cost structure in the longer run.

Suppliers are under an enhanced pressure to offer greater quality, options that suit unique requirements and overall experience of the customer stakeholders involved.

Bricks Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Bricks procurement.

For example, Buyers should engage with suppliers that have adopted a global delivery model as it reduces buyers' risk. In this model, any disaster/emergency at any operating facility of supplier will result in the work being transferred to a different facility, thereby ensuring continuity of the project and reduced risk for buyers. This model also provides buyers access to skilled labor from across the globe, thereby improving the quality of engineering products provided by the supplier.

Buyers need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Bricks industry. This can be assessed by considering factors such as the years of experience, number of resources that have multi-year experience of working in the same industry and at least 3 to 5 credentials for the supplier.

Buyers should engage with suppliers that have recycling capability. Recycling capability of the suppliers will lower their production costs which will be passed on to buyers. Additionally, the recycling capability will contribute in furthering the sustainability goals of the buyers' organization.

Risks in Bricks procurement

Bricks procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Bricks procurement. Some examples include:


  • With changing technologies, the manufacturing, packaging and labelling requirements have become more stringent than ever across geographies globally. RFID tags, temperature sensors, and barcode scanners, have become common requirements across the category. There is also an increase in the adoption of technologies such as AI and IoT. Therefore, suppliers incur excessive costs to keep upgrading their technology and to ensure maintenance of these technologies across various stages of the product category
  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of Bricks may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
  • Pricing terms in the contract could prove to be inadequate to safeguard the buyer from impact of a sudden increase in supplier's cost, often arising from a lack of clarity on scope of products or services to be delivered
